I love how it went from Gigabrain tactics to beat a single Pokémon to "Oh no dynamic punch, what will I do? *Kills every pokémon in a 20 mile radius* "
It’s really funny how the early game is the hardest part of his challenge runs. Remember the Combee? Ant’s PTSD sure does.
It really does feel that the hardest part in a Pokémon romhack challenge is establishing yourself, but when you do things go far smoother just because the player knows how to play Pokémon well.
@@iantaakalla8180 well, this challange is especially "bad" in that department, because the rare candy price is static. If it increased with your badges and maybe not start at 2k this would be a far smoother difficultie curve.
@@iantaakalla8180 Plus there's a lot more choices open to you in late-game, such as movepool, held items, party pokemon, compared to everything being rather limited at the start
@@nedcurfman3486 what happened with the combee again
I love how Smant ends up running a sand team… and Arvin.
It’s a cool name tho dont lie
@@arvin3613 👀🤣
crowbat's just that good
He’s a gym leader 😭
@@jorgelazaro6833 Gym leader Smant want's to fight
I just noticed he caught a Rhyhorn with a defence-up nature. That was INSANE.
Like, on top of everything - the eviolite, and Rhydon’s already respectable defence stat - the nature just HAPPENED to match the role Rhydon played on the team. Impeccable.
Litterly a wall against physical attacks
That's why rthe rhyhorn I named turnt2, the first one he caught he named turnt but it had a negative defense nature so he ditched it to catch a new one with defense up nature and named it turnt2

Yea that aint anything for tanner, pro pokemon players will know… even if a attack did small damage, sometimes we will say that did a lot of damage. It depends on what type of attack it is and how much it should do, there are a lot of things that factor in. Hope this makes sense

Amen
Unless you play a variant of Nuzlocke that never allows switching a Pokémon on your team when you capture it.

Something I appreciate about smant is his sense of comedy. At the very end he could have easily KO'd the Dragonite with an attack but instead goes for the bit and throws his master ball
The Dragonite was probably going to outspeed anyway so any attack would have had effectively the same outcome.
All pain felt by Pokemon hurts him to
ayy it’s arcade hawk I love your videos
So funny right? Our buddy smant 😂😂🫡 talking like he knows u
the issue with this run is that rare candies are just as effective on level 99s as on level 3s, so once you get a lot of money in the midgame you snowball massively
The only way to really fix that is raise the price based on your badges
@@zoxfalcon2510 you could make it so that you got a set amount of xp for an amount of money ig
@@nedalsoned9940
That would probably make it unbalanced in the opposite direction. Maybe something like it increases with the in-game timer, or you buy levelups directly rather than buying them as rare candies so you can make the price based on the actual level.
@@MisterBones2910 Not that exp candies existed in gen 5 but they would work significantly better than the rare candies.
Easy fix I think to make things more interesting is that Rare Candies start at 100P, then go up 100P every time you buy one (a triangular system). That way it becomes harder to level the more you do it, just like real leveling. If the average caught/received Pokemon starts at lv30, and you wanted to get six of them to, say, 70, you'd need 240 candies. At 2000P each, that'd cost 480,000P. With the triangular system, it'd be (((240+1) * 240) / 2) * 100 = 2,892,000P. If you only earned the 480k you'd normally spend on candies, that'd get you 97, enough to level each Pokemon to around 46-47.
This would force the player to either a) come up with better strategies, b) battle more trainers for more money, or c) level up less Pokemon. I think that'd make a far more interesting challenge.
That masterball throw was such a perfect finisher to this challenge LMAO
Timestamp? I can't find it lmao
@@Tofu_Kiki 1:06:28
I wondered why he didn’t use it before that. 🤣 amazing finish
The disrespect.
That Ampharos Focus Blast sequence was a straight up rollercoaster of emotions
Also, funny you mention Caitlin's Reuniclus having Focus Blast as well because that's in the base game
Yeah, gen 5 gave its major fights solid coverage
Can't believe it actually landed focus miss tho, which have a 0% accuracy rate.
@@demarkus4566 its 0% accurate for the players but 100% for the opponent
this sprite animation was the peak of battle sprites to me. some movement, but still spritey enough to retain the fun poses without looking unnatural
I applaud you for having fun whilst also feeling extreme pain.
I'll say the same to Chris Rock
Masochist
You werent even able to watch the entire vid though?
@@JoranGetal watch the streams you get to see the playthroughs
@@nafereuskortex9055 ah yeah fair. Are there specific streaming schedules, cuz Ill check m out sometime
“Oh! We fought a rich person!” Out of context is just amazing
Honestly I would say the rare candies make this easier. It removes a lot of the grind (grinding levels for hours can be really tedious but I'm talking about general content) and makes the late game basically free. Maybe a good way to balance it more is to scale the price as you beat gyms? Still a really cool concept and makes the game more enjoyable since you're most likely replaying it.
Also not dissing Smallant I think he did an incredible job and handicapping himself with level 69s was a really cool move. I'm referring more towards regular players
I think using the modern exp candies instead would be better, but obviously that's not an option in this game. Some scaling into late game is for sure needed though.
we gotta admit that eviolite Rhydon was the MVP of the run
Definitely
Weakest Eviolite user
Laughed so hard at "why does it have water pulse" when fighting Cheren. Drayano. That's why. Drayano.
Cheren must have transferred in a Buneary from Gen 4 lol
The best part is , this was bb2 which is one of his easier hacks. BB 1 on the other hand ...
@@vedaryan334 or fire red omega or storm silver. God both of those were pain!
*laughs in Kaizo where everything has bonkers coverage*
Seriously, I saw that and was like "Yeah, that's pretty normal."
Drayano is crazy with his Rom Hacks, Blaze Black 1 and 2 are fantastic
13:26 I never realized how great ryhorns sprite was in this game it almost looks 3D
Gen 5 sprites were done so perfectly
it's so c h a r m i.n g
Would you say the the 3D is limited?
I love the limited 3D they used in this game. It's so charming!
some of my fav sprites by far
"Do I want levels or items?"
This truly is the Dark Souls of pokemon rom hacks.
"I'm not fighting these kids because they don't give any money"-Smallant
I love whenever a pokemon takes a super effective hit and his eyes widen to a comical degree
14, staring at the Hall of Fame: “I guide others to a treasure I cannot posses”
I love watching these and thinking you're smashing through these games crazy quick, but then now and again noticing the clock at the bottom and realising how much grind you must have to do for these challenges
I like how at the beginning he was broke but later he’s like “how do we have 20000 poke dollar?!!”
When you think about it, making the player have to buy levels makes the game much more similar to Dark Souls. You have to choose between spending money on levels or items, and when you lose fights you lose XP/Money but you can try over and over.
Ive been waiting for a rom like this for ages
The main difference being that the levels always cost the same.
this truly is the dark souls of Pokémon mods
Can we play this Rom somehow?
@@TheUzumakirendan yeah just look it up and u can download, u will need an emulator tho. If your on android try drastic ds.
Smallant calling his Crobat “Arvin” made me so happy
I wonder why
“That would actually be really good for early game, we could have a Lucario before the first gym”
This guy Blaze-Blacks
Honestly, with the gen 5 xp system I feel like this is easier in the long run
As a avid fan of b2w2, I can confirm that this is definitely easier than having to repeatedly murder Pokémon Breeders over and over again just to see the exp bar gain one pixel.
But Gen 5 gives you more xp than other games when your level is lower than the opponent’s, and it’s basically impossible to lose in any Pokemon game if your levels match or are higher than your opponent’s
@@ShuckleShellAnemia yeah but then you spend 10000 years trying to grind for the elite 4
@@tylerbreckenridge3850 …so don’t grind for the elite four? Just buy some items before fighting them.
@@ShuckleShellAnemia fun fact on black and white 2 challenge mode is actually easier than easy mode long term because you will level up faster cos of relative exp.
I love how he gets surprised by a Nidoking having ice beam lmao. We rom hack nuzlockers know the pain
You learn a lot by what move someone gets surprised by. Ice Beam has been a standard move for Nidoking its entire existence, even before Sheer Force + Life Orb was a thing.
Nidoking learns like 3/4ths of all moves in Pokémon lmao

My first pokemon game was volt white 2 and i went in knowing pretty much nothing about pokemon games
@@quandaledingle5888 why exactly is a ROM hack your first pokemon game
@@maskofboom1067 someone gave me a r4 cart of pokemon volt white 2 and blaze black 2 and i didn’t know that it wasn’t a legit cartridge and I wasn’t paying attention during the intro so i just played through thinking “wow pokemon games are really hard”
While Platinum is my favorite of the ds pokemon games (i'm bias to sinnoh), the Black and White games are always so visually fun to look at from how much it pushes the ds hardware and looks so different.
5th and 6th generations were the best to me. For a ds, 5th generation was awesome and damn were those cities beautiful. 6th was the new gen. The switch to 3D made it even better. Some Pokemons got their animations and looks a bit changed but the overall looks were insane. Sword and shield and scarlet and violet look kind of weird to me. Like clay figures. Everything looks last gen because the switch isn't particularly powerful
Fun fact: The number of blackouts (45) in hexadecimal is also 69.
coincidence? I think not
Had me so confused, but I got it:
if you *read* the number of blackouts as hexadecimal then in decimal it's 69. Feels a bit too numerology since you're changing the number but still...
nice
@@emdivine Nah I don‘t think so. Hexadecimal is one of the most often used bases.
@@Zwiebelgian Well yeah it is and it's a nice coincidence, I was just commenting on like... it's 45, you made it a different number from 45 that's all. Just kinda reminded me slightly of how numerologists can turn anything into any number they want to "prove" that idk, lions are actually angels or something.
Nice.
When I was a kid... I actually did try throwing the Master Ball at Lance's Dragonite in Red... I mean it said that it would catch anything without fail so...
Lul my 9 year older brother told me he did the same thing when he played
I really like this challenge. Getting all your levels through trainer battles and having more difficult AI makes it much more entertaining and much less grindy and much more of a challenge.
"I have to balance between buying items and levels" if this were a nuzlocke this would essentially be a pokemon souls-like
What about a hardcore nuzlocke?
If Iris's Latios/Latias had Soul Dew, they'd be ridiculous, even by challenge hack standards
Tell that they emerald kaizo.
@@Isabelle-mp8rk to be fair emerald kaizo dosnt have ev and you have bb glitch which makes its kinda possible
@@dragullongblackfang8073 evs can arguably make the game easier depending on if the ai has good ev spreads or not

@@Isabelle-mp8rk depends the shs has said the he would not make it it is litterly you cannot change the evs of bosse for some reason in gen 1-2-3 for some reason no idea if you can do it in gen 4 do

I feel like Excadrill's idle animation lined up pretty well w/ that low sweep at 31:59 lol XD
3:22 can we appreciate the shape of this patch
It looks like the letter Y.
It's always been like that in the game.
But yes. The shape is.... Sus.
On god
I really wanted 14 to last the whole run, though the sandstorm team was a really neat gimmick. Great video as always
smant setting up 6 work ups on roxie and then completely sweeping her is what we in the biz call a gamer move
edit: the crobat/rhydon/flygon switching into X Speed Swords Dance Lucario is also an absolute gamer moment
Obsessed with the fact that Smant calls everybody "kiddo" and "kitten" during this challenge
i’m glad ant has found time for us between elden ring and all of the maidens that follow
Want to like, but you’ve got 69
Definitely earned that streamer award. I gotta say I usually watch videos with a max 15 minute time. But if smallant posts a video of 1 - 2 hours, i am definitely going to watch it. Enjoyed every last second. Keep it up my guy!
@@spiderfrog5764 I mean kinda, i just don have time to sit around for 4 hours everyday. I recommend watching his pokemon challenges streams. Its actually really fun to watch or to have it playing in the backgroung while playing games.
Actually if you level up join avenue enough you get access to items that increase your level. That together with challenge mode and the anti-piracy measure means that you can in theory get a challenge run pretty similar to this without having to modify the game at all which is pretty cool
What anti-piracy stuff does Pokemon have?
@@velvetbutterfly If you emulate BW or B2W2 without an anti piracy patch the game will prevent you from gaining exp
1:07:15 Hold up a minute. His trainer ID was 13443.
The two 3s make 6 when added together, and the two 4s and the 1 make a 9.
This whole 69 thing was planned from the start.
I remember trying out Volt White when it first came out. I was still a kid who didn't know anything about strategy.
Needless to say that I never finished it.

Some advice if you want to try this challenge yourself:
-Pickup mons will help a lot of they’re available. Get on as soon as possible if you can.
-You can farm infinite money really fast by getting feathers on driftveil bridge. Use the bike to increase spawnrates.
Doesn't farming money make the challenge pointless
@@wereowl9369 depends on your view on it.

@@Moxtrots but if you optimize the challenge to the point where it is as easy if you hadn't of done the challenge then why do the challenge in the first place, novelty?
@@wereowl9369 fair point. Perhaps some may want to do the challenge, then use this optimization (by their definition) to make themselves feel smart or good at it.

Joke's aside I really like the fact that you're posting videos every now and then and hope you're doing fine. Thank you, SmallAnt.
I miss Gen 5s low health song so much. It was not only a vast improvement over the old constant beeping, but way more engaging and exciting than just having a single warning sound when you enter red like the games have.
It's really nice to see some other types of challenge on rom hacks than regular hardcore nuzlockes. I really enjoyed this video!

Big props to the editor for dealing with 24 hours of footage and making it into an only 1 hour video.
That was the most BM usage of a Masterball I've ever seen.
Btw, you could've had an infinite source of money. Every now and then in this game, you come across a Hoenn gym leader that you can battle as many times as you want. They're meant to help you get more experience, but they give you money too.
